GOVERNOR Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, today, said that better times lie ahead for residents of the state, maintaining that despite all the challenges that faced his administration, he was able to match his words with achievements, especially in the implementation of THEMEs Agenda and other programmes he promised Lagosians three years ago.
Sanwo-Olu stated this in his goodwill message at the 3rd anniversary thanksgiving service of his administration that took place at the Chapel of Christ the Light, Alausa, Ikeja.
The theme of the thanksgiving is “O God our help in ages past”.
Sanwo-Olu, represented by his wife, Dr. Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu, said he was grateful for the mercies, protection, wisdom and understanding of God Almighty, that assisted in the steering of the administration successful in the last three years.
“Despite all the challenges faced in the recent past by this administration, we were able to record unprecedented achievements as far as the implementation of our THEMEs agenda and other lofty programmes we promised Lagosians three years ago. We were able to match our words with achievements,” Sanwo-Olu said.
He said the achievement recorded was as a result of the cooperation and support by all Lagosians as well as the intercessory prayers by men and women of different denominations, just as he besieged all Lagosians to continue to rally round the government, especially as the 2023 general elections approaches.
“Let me at this juncture express our appreciation to all Lagosians for your support, cooperation and prayers in the past three years, which also contributed to our achievements. We want more of your support as we approach 2023 general elections, which by the special grace of God, myself and Dr Kadiri Obafemi Hamzat, would be participating as governorship and deputy governorship candidates of our great party, All Progressive Party for another term of four years in office. By the grace of God, I assure all Lagosians that better times lie ahead,” Sanwo-Olu said.
Earlier in his sermon, Bishop Diocese of Badagry, Methodist Church Nigeria, Rt.Rev. Dr. Sunday Onadipe, said that the achievement recorded by Sanwo-Olu in the state, confirmed that he had a very great notion and initiatives to make Lagos greater, adding that Sanwo-Olu is an epitome of good leadership
Onadipe affirmed that all the aforementioned achievements was possible because the governor too acknowledged God as the prime mover of his administration and prayed that that good Lord will be with him till the end of the administration and even beyond, by citing book of Psalms 124 verse 1 to back his words.
However, the cleric warned that the journey has not ended and that he should not take it lightly but should continue to pray and extend his tentacle on governance to do something on insecurity of lives and properties, youth unrest and safe the future of our children and speedy completion of Lagos-Badagry road.
“The journey has not ended, like a Samarian leper, always give thanks to God. I am sure you are not taking the journey ahead lightly but God will assist you. Meanwhile, safe us on the issue of insecurity, youth unrest, help safe the future of our children and put us in the priority list as the speedy completion of our road and other basic amenities are concerned”, Rev Onadipe said.
